The term Quarantine said TO be
derived from the Italian for sforty -
according TO the photographers. is the
period during which shin arriving in

with a malignant, contagious disease. is
obliged to forbear all Intercourse with

board, or suspected of having on board.

vessel arriving in the Lower Bay with

that she is from foreign port-let US
suppose port infected with cholera-
sails or steams up to a position at some
distance from the shore, termed the
boarding station Here the master
must ''bring to, y under heavy penalty.
The doctor comes alongside in the
little quarantine steamboat, the G. C.
Preston, and before any one goes on
board the following questions are put
to the master: "What is the name of
the vessel and the master, From what
port have yon comet Was there any
sickness at the port while You were living
there or at the time you left itl Have
you any bill of healthl II so, produce it.
What number of officers, crew, and pas
sengers have you on boardl Have any
of them suffered from any kind Of i'll
ness during the voyage! If so, state it,
however triding it may have been. Is
every person on board in good health at
this momentfi Should the master re-
fuse to answer any OF these questions, or
give false answer to any Of them, the
refusal or falsehood subjects him to a
heavy fine or Imprisonment, or both; and
if the questions have been put upon
oath, and he returns false answer, he
is liable to punishment for wilful and
corrupt perjury. The inspection being
completed, and cholera, we will suppose,
being found to exist, the vessel is
obliged TO proceed at once to the quaran-
tine station selected Every person on
board must remain there until the vessel
is released. Should any one choose to

fathers, when disobedience to quarran-
tine laws subjected the offender ito suf-
fer death without benefit of clergy
Still it is heavy enough to discourage
any attempt at disobedience, when such
disobedience would bring upon the trans
gressor the full rigor of the law.

HOUSEHOLD MATTERS.
Easy wayto Sew Rag CARPETS,

AN Elders Wife, writes the Prairie
Farmer as follows: The making of rag
carpets has always seemed like a sort OF
necessary evil, > particularly for farm
ers' wives; but of late do not pity my
self as much as did over that stern ne
cessity. This is how manage it now: l
havea calico bag hung in a convenient,
vet out-of- the-way place, and on ironing
day if | discover among the clothes any
thing lust fit for carpet rags, put it in
that bag; then when | find time, | tear
them up, being careful to have them
coarse or fine according to the texture of
the cloth, so that all will make strips as
nearly the same size as possible. then
take them to the sewing machine, thread
IN with No. 30 or 40 thread, set the
stitch of medium length, regulate the
tension so as to make the stitch alike on
both sides, and proceed to business Lap
and fold the rags as though sewing them
by hand, and start in at the edge instead
OF the middle of the rag, half an inch
or less back of the beginning of the lap.
Run on slant to the ;iidtie, sew in the
middle of tie length of the lap, then
pull the Tag to the left so as to run off
the edge. then do not stop to lift the
pressure foot and cut the threads but lap
another on the end OF that one and slip
it under the pressure foot, and so con-
tinue ad libitum. After you once get
the hang of it, you can sew long string
OF rags ir 'he time it has taken me to tell
you Ny t,le folks think II great fun
to hel p ma "a sew rags. One clips the
threads betty n the jennings, while the
other winds EN- into balls, and between
